Features: In the late 1970s, Beijing intellectual Han Xinxin, who suffered hardships in the Yunnan Rubber Plantation, followed an American-Chinese to New York. During an unexpected incident, she became the leader of the "Three Principles Gang" and was known as "Auntie Lin," engaging in human trafficking. This book depicts the life of human trafficking organizations and illegal immigrants, revealing the distortion of human nature by materialism and the disillusionment of the "American Dream" for illegal immigrants. The plot is full of twists and turns, with vivid portrayals of a variety of characters, including tycoons, politicians, lawyers, college students, officials, ruffians, thugs, lackeys, village women, prostitutes, and teachers. The picturesque landscapes of Xishuangbanna, the folk customs of Laos, the primitive forests of Myanmar, the moonlit beaches of Long Island, the urban scenery of Manhattan, and the high-stakes gambling nights of Las Vegas immerse readers in the scenes. To write this book, author Cao Guiling personally interviewed numerous illegal immigrants and "snakeheads," conducted field research along the human trafficking routes, and obtained detailed first-hand materials.
